My swash is level so WTF

[josh mcormick]

Just got done on a major tear-down (replace elevator arm in frame) and when i fly it seems to keep wanting to drift backwards. Double checked swash. Did hover in garage to stay out of wind. CG seems to be good, Only thing i did diff is am now using alighn woodies. Seems like it will hover decent with little stick input, if i ajust swash forward (down in the front) a little, but Its always hovered good with level swash before. Still a newbe but have done atleast 20 rebuilds that turned out good, with minor tweaking. Have any suggestions?:roll:

Check your balance. Put the blades front-to-back and lift from the flybar. It should stay level. If it tips back, you're tail-heavy. Either shift the battery farther forward or just add some forward trim in the radio to compensate.

Edit: Oh, you said CG looks OK. I dunno.

also check yourflybar is level as well
the fly bar is what gives the blades the blade disck change also make sure swash is level in all positions high med and low

Thanks again guys, will double check. There is a chance that the flybar isn't level.

And both flybar paddles should be parallel to the flybar control frame.
